Bristol Ballet does not close for spring break since we serve students from several different school systems, which rarely have their spring breaks at the same time.
 
All students except Creative Movement will participate in the Spring Student Concert. Costumes for that production will be purchased by parents. Company members will not have to purchase costumes.
